Furt'hm ell sis-J more, by applying my invention to a crank case, the crank case is eiliciently reinforced at a point where the same is most likely to become broken, or should crank case be broken or cracked the same will be eiiieiently reinforted by the applicatir'in of my invention thereto. and by tl'rs provision of the opening in the plate 10 for surrounding and engaging the drain tube 8 of the crank case, it'is practically impossible for the device to become displaced thereon by either lateral or longitudinal movement;

While 1 have herein shown and described the preferred embodinu-nit oi the invention. it may resort to variations and modifications therein from time to time to meet the exigencies of the case without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a device of the character specified, the combination with the frame of a vehicle, and the crank case thereof, of supporting bands suspended upon said frame, a: plate for engaging and supporting said crank case, and means upon the ends of said plate for adjustably engaging the lower ends of said supporting bands.

in a device of the character specified, the combination with the frame of a motor propelled vehicle, and the crank case of the engine ther' provided with a drain tube, of supporting; bands secured upon said frame and extending downwardly and inwardly therefrom and provided with threaded ends, a plate for snugly engaging the under surface of said crank case and provided with a reihforced opening for surrounding and snugly engaging said drain tube. reintorced apertured ears upon the ends of said plate for receiving the threaded ends of said sup porting bands, and nuts upon said threaded 1 ,eeege re ends at the inner sides o'f'said curs io'rhdjustably iuaintainiln said plate upon said supporting; bands.

which elements have their outer terminals secured to the beams of an automobile chassis, and a certain other element which extends under and supports the said casing between said beams. and means to adjustably connecting:- said elements.

5. A. support for transmission casing-s cmbodying a plurality of elements, certain of which elements have their outer terminals secured to the bean'is of an automobile chassis, and a certain other element which extends under and supports the said casing between said beams. the lastqnentirmcd element being constrm-ted to span or bridge the drain cock depending from su id casing, and means for adjustably connectingsaid elements.

6,15. support For transmission casings comprising an element which extends under and supports the said casing and spans the d'ain cock depending thcret'mm, and bolts adjustably connected with said element and having means at their outer ends for securing the same to the beams of an automobile chassis.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this .pecification in the presence of two subscribin witnesses.
